Voices for Children/CASA Volunteers play a vital role in determining the future of child victims of abuse and neglect for whom they advocate. Many more volunteers are needed to allow us to provide voices for the growing number of children who are in care! Each child needs a voice in the system and a caring adult who has their best interest at heart and is willing and able to ensure that the Court is apprised of the pertinent facts of the case so that the most informed decision can be made on behalf of each child’s future.

In our Judicial Circuit today there is a great need for volunteers to serve as voices for children in the system.
